3ElECTRICAl ConnECTIonS

Electrical Requirements

120-volt, 60 Hertz, properly grounded branch circuit protected by a 15-amp or 20-amp circuit breaker or time-delay fuse.

Extension Cord Cautions

Because of potential safety hazards associated with certain conditions, we strongly recommend against the use of

an extension cord. However, if you still elect to use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL-listed, 3-wire grounding-type appliance extension cord and that the current carrying rating of the cord in amperes be equivalent to, or greater than, the branch circuit rating.

Grounding

IMPoRTAnT—(Please read carefully)

FoR PERSonAl SAFETy, THIS APPlIAnCE MUST BE PRoPERly GRoUnDED.

Preferred Method

Ensure proper ground exists before use

The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a

3-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a standard 3-prong grounding wall receptacle to minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard from this appliance.

The customer should have the wall receptacle and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the receptacle is properly grounded.

Where a standard 2-prong wall receptacle is encountered, it is the personal responsibility and obligation of the customer to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3- prong wall receptacle.

Do noT, UnDER Any CIRCUMSTAnCES, CUT oR REMoVE THE THIRD (GRoUnD) PRonG FRoM THE PowER CoRD.

A word about GFCIs – GFCIs are not required or recommended for gas range receptacles.

Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCIs) are devices that sense leakage of current in a circuit and automatically switch off power when a threshold leakage level is detected. These devices must be manually reset by the consumer. The National Electrical Code requires the use of GFCIs in kitchen receptacles installed to serve countertop surfaces. Performance of the range will not be affected if operated on a GFCI-protected circuit but occasional nuisance tripping of the GFCI breaker is possible.

A.Usage Situations where Appliance Power Cord will Be Disconnected Infrequently.

An adapter may be used only on a 15-amp circuit.

Do not use an adapter on a 20-amp circuit. Where local codes permit, a TEMPoRARy ConnECTIon may be made to a properly grounded 2-prong wall receptacle by the use of a UL-listed adapter, available at most hardware stores. The larger slot in the adapter must be aligned with the larger slot in the wall receptacle to provide proper polarity in the connection of the power cord.

Temporary Method

(Adapter plugs not permitted in Canada)

Align large prongs/slots

Ensure proper ground and firm connection before use

CAUTIon: Attaching the adapter ground terminal to the wall receptacle cover screw does not ground the appliance unless the cover screw is metal, and not insulated, and the wall receptacle is grounded through the house wiring. The customer should have the circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the receptacle is properly grounded.

When disconnecting the power cord from the adapter, always hold the adapter with one hand. If this is not done, the adapter ground terminal is very likely to break with repeated use. Should this happen, Do noT USE the appliance until a proper ground has again been established.
